[Weekly Idol] JBJ

Short for Just Be Joyful, JBJ is a fan-created project group comprised of six members who previously participated in Mnet’s Produce 101 Season 2. The members include Noh Taehyun from HOTSHOT, Kim Sangyun from Topp Dogg, Jin Longguo from Longguo & Shihyun, Takeda Kenta, Kwon Hyunbin and Kim Donghan.

The members gained attention during Produce 101 Season 2 for many reasons, and soon the positive feedback from fans led to their debut, set for seven months.

The group’s first reality show, Just be Joyful JBJ, began airing on September 27, 2017 on Mnet M2 Channel. JBJ also won the 2017 Rising Star Award at the Asia Artist Awards and the Kpop Singer Award at the Korean Culture and Entertainment Awards.

They recently came back with their second ‘True Colours’ on January 17 2018, and released the music video for the title track of the same name.
